Are you comfortable using a terminal emulator?
Hit your spotlight icon upper right, the magnifying glass, start typing Terminal, when it pops up launch it.
type sudo nano /etc/hosts
it'll ask for your password, enter it
Nano is a command line file editor,

You'll be shown your current hosts and where they resolve to in Terminal window.
Use your down arrow key to get to a blank line.
Copy / paste
the known list
Control (NOT COMMAND), Control X should bring up the Nano save Y or N
EDIT: When you see the list of known phone homes you'll understand why little snitch can be a pain until it learns. In concept it's really just creating a hosts block list, rerouting everything back but asking you to confirm each one.
